For those looking for a job, the Lone Star State is fertile stomping ground. In a new WalletHub report on the best and worst cities for job seekers, Texas was dubbed the top state to pound the pavement.

Using metrics like cost of living and job openings per capita, the WalletHub survey analyzed employment opportunities in 60 of the largest U.S. cities. Texas came out a winner, claiming half of the top 10 slots.

"Such dynamics, combined with the lack of either a state or local income tax for which Texas is renowned, are enough to make up for middle-of-the pack rankings when it comes to industry variety, healthcare coverage and the percentage of the workforce living below the poverty line," the survey reads.

Contributing to Austin's No. 6 ranking was our average annual income, which, adjusted for cost of living, was ranked the third highest among the cities surveyed.

Other Texas cities making the list include Corpus Christi (No. 12) and San Antonio (No. 23). The survey wasn't all Lone Star State lust, though. California cities like Fresno and San Jose beat out Texas locales for fastest-growing workforce and highest-median salary.
